Toro Debuts First Stand-On Blower and Cheaper GrandStand HDM+
Bloomington, Minn. – October 14, 2026 -- Toro will show its first dedicated stand-on blower, the AeroMaster, which the company says delivers up to 30% more airflow than competitors at 8,100 effective CFM. The company will also show a redesigned GrandStand HDM+ stand-on mower at a lower price at Equip Expo in Louisville, Kentucky, October 20-23.
Toro is aiming both platforms at landscape contractors who need to do more with fewer operators and are under pressure from rising operating costs.
AeroMaster turbine blower targets wet debris and large cleanups
The AeroMaster is built on Toro's turbine technology. The company says its 8,100 effective CFM moves wet, stuck-on debris, which suits spring and fall cleanups and post-storm work. The 30% airflow advantage is a manufacturer claim, marked with an asterisk in the release; the source gives no substantiation.
